The August Edition of USA Oil and Gas Monitor 2014 is out today. Indeed, it goes without saying that there is abundance of natural gas across the globe and the call for cleaner alternative to oil fuel, CO2 and GHG emission is making gas not only the fuel of the future but also the fuel of the moment. To buttress this assertion, Jérôme FERRIER Senior Vice President Corporate Total said, “Natural gas has become a clean and economic alternative to drive mobility today. The fuel has become a natural part choice available across the globe for individual and public transportation, heavy duty trucks, as well as maritime and air transportation”.
